BILL BLOG Wednesday June 4, 2025   It’s the first “Hump Day” of June. And it’s going to be HOT with a high of 89 on tap in Nashville today.     And it’s anniversary day for me and my wife Kathy .      Yes, I outkicked the coverage when I married her for sure. I always joke that my wife made just ONE mistake in her entire life. She walked into a club where my band and I were playing in Cincinnati on the second night we were there. She didn’t want to come as she really didn’t like country music much back then. But one of her sisters was celebrating a birthday and wanted to go, so Kathy went with them to celebrate. I owe her sister big time.   Happy Anniversary, Kathy Whyte. I’m a lucky guy.    YESTERDAY I met my co-emcee for the big Parrot Head event coming up in Gulf Shores this October, Krystal King .   Krystal does weekend radio work for Margaritaville Radio on Sirius XM. Krystal is also a co...

BILL BLOG Tuesday June 3, 2025   Hello Tuesday morning. Warming up to 87 for a high in Music City today.   YESTERDAY I wrote with hit writers Brian White & Don Poythress yesterday out at Brian’s mini-farm, where he has a converted garage that he turned into a writing studio. Surrounded by ducks, miniature horses, chickens, and I’m not sure what else. Great place to write.   Brian and I talked a bit about our Cincinnati Reds, and I found out that Don is a Reds fan as well. Did not know that until yesterday. I’m going to see the Reds this coming weekend in Cincinnati, and when Brian heard that, he said, “Me too”!   What?   Complete accident.   So…I will see Brian and his wife Karyn Williams, who is a big Christian music artist. So, extra fun at the ballpark in Ohio this weekend. Bonus.   Brian brought up an idea to write that Don and I liked, and that’s what we wrote. A song about all the craziness going on i...

BILL BLOG Monday June 2, 2025   Monday morning. Goodbye May and welcome to June. It’s going to get warmer now that we’re in June. Today’s high in Nashville will be 87.   THE WEEKEND Mine started Friday morning, writing a song with these two. Lauren Mascitti on my left, Andrea Pearson on my right. Although I write songs with both of them, this was the first time the three of us had written together, and it was the first time the two of them had met. Both were aware of each other, so it was fun watching two really great singers get to know each other, and then create a new song together from an idea that Andrea brought with her. And she always seems to bring a great idea to the table.  Lauren has a brand-new beach song EP out, and here’s her first single, “ Rum Pum Pum ”.   And Andrea told me she’s getting ready to go visit the homestead that’s been in her family for generations up in Vancouver, Canada, where she’s from. And while she...
